There has not been enough research conducted on the cross-border dimensions of armed conflict that stem from the uncontrolled movement of armed forces and groups across poorly patrolled frontiers, especially in places like the Sudan and the DRC region. Since no formal cross-border networks exist between women's peace-building groups, we believe that women's participation in regional peace-building institutions such as the Amani Forum in the Great Lakes region could be encouraged through, for example, the establishment of a task force to examine women-specific cross-border concerns.
